U9/U10/U11 Dublin Teams Competition & Relay Championships 2026 - Sunday 24th May @ 10.00am - Irishtown Track

Our coaches have been busy organising athletes for the upcoming Teams Competition – it’s always a fun day of competition for our younger juveniles and is great to see so many athletes putting their names forward to take part.


For some it will be their first taste of competition and competing together as part of a team is a great introduction to this. We hope everyone is looking forward to and enjoys themselves on the day.


We have 131 Athlete Entries and 15 Relay Teams on the day – so as you can imagine this takes a considerable amount of organisation to coordinate!


A reminder that the Relays are a Team event – with 4 athletes making up each team – if a child is unavailable, it will impact the other children on that team.

                                                D04 KN77

Thank you to all the parents who volunteered for the Teams Championships – it is most appreciated.

Please note that there is very little parking at Irishtown Stadium and on roads close by. 


On street parking can be found a little further away in the wider area past the park on Cambridge Road, South Lotts Road, Bath Avenue etc. Please allow for 15/20 minute walk. There is some paid parking available 15 minutes’ walk away at the Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium on South Lotts Road (overflow access at signs for Sportsco). 


If using on street parking please consider the residents and do not obstruct their entrances, and refrain from parking in the housing estate between the stadium and Sean Moore Road so as not to infringe on residents.


We would like to discourage people from parking at (other than core officials) or approaching

the stadium due to very narrow roads.

all within 3 minutes walking distance, also the C3, C4, C5 and C6 have termini 15-minute
